"I have listened to 192/24 PCM versus double DSD of the same material using SACDs as the source and double DSD wins hands down. "
Tbg always manages to determine what sounds better when comparing two very similar things. Can I assume he is unbiased in his judgements? Is anyone? I wish I had his ears and his unabiding trust in what I hear. I hear things that both sound really good in significantly different ways all the time and am still challenged to say which is conclusively "better".
On the other hand, I am pretty good I think at detecting noise and distortion when I hear it and have no doubt then that something is amiss, but still lots of reasons why still possible.
I think I've pretty much heard it all and have come to the conclusion that there is not always a clear winner when comparing two different things done well. Its more a matter of individual tastes and perspectives, which ALWAYS vary.
